Three autonomous vehicle projects are set to receive backing from a share of a £25 million government fund, as the UK edges closer to seeing self-driving cars on its roads.
The new cars are set to 'revolutionise' the way Brits travel across the country and could even help to improve transport services for those who struggle to access public transport.
All of the new projects will include social behavioural research in order to understand how driverless technology can be seamlessly integrated into society.
The findings will then be applied to the development for future autonomous service models.
Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark is set to announce the public trials in Oxford, after trying a self-driving vehicle firsthand, which is being tested around the city.

'Self-driving cars will revolutionise the way we move goods and people around the UK,' Mr Clark said.
'These Industrial Strategy projects and investments are exciting examples of our long-term plan in action – ensuring we build on our strengths to reap the rewards as we accelerate towards our ambition to have autonomous vehicles on UK roads by 2021.
'Autonomous vehicles and their technology will not only revolutionise how we travel, it will open up and improve transport services for those who struggle to access both private and public transport.
'The UK is building on its automotive heritage and strengths to develop the new vehicles and technologies and from 2021 the public will get to experience the future for themselves.'
The MP will be taken in a test vehicle run by autonomous vehicle software company Oxbotica, the first person outside its technical team to try the autonomous mode on the streets of the UK. Co-founder Paul Newman will travel alongside, explaining how the system works.

The Government's Centre for Connected Autonomous Vehicles was established in 2015, in a bid to make the UK a world leader in self-driving technology, with £250 million, match-funded by industry, being invested so far.
Trials are already under way in parts of the UK, including Bristol, Coventry, Greenwich and Milton Keynes.
'The UK is a world leader in transport innovation, and our work on the Future of Mobility Grand Challenge will ensure this long continues,' said future of mobility minister Jesse Norman.
'Automated driving technology is advancing rapidly, and the UK market for connected and autonomous vehicles is forecast to be worth up to £52 billion by 2035.
'This pioneering technology will bring significant benefits to people right across the country, improving mobility and safety, and driving growth across the UK.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
